Last week Tom & Greg reviewed the 2015 big battle rules Blucher, published by Sam Mustafa. If you missed the review, CHECK IT OUT, but in that review we briefly mentioned our old 1809 Danube campaign. This was a large campaign event run in the club ten years ago, organized and developed by Tom when Blucher first came out. Back then, we were all very excited about the new game and wanted to tackle a monster campaign. 

Did you watch our Battle of Acre wargame or hear the post-game interview with game master Chris Grau? If so, then you know Chris adapted Lion Rampant (written by Daniel Mersey) into a "big battle" system for armies instead of skirmishes. Head over to our Patreon page and read this post, which includes the files for his changes. He even cites page numbers in the original rules to note each update he made and why. Thank you again to Chris for sharing this! You can visit him directly on his own painting tutorial channel, Feldgrau Productions. Pop over and say hi!

If you aren't a patron of ours, don't worry! This post and ALL of our posts for the last two years have been unlocked so that you can access them for $0. After all, this is the "free stuff" page isn't it? 

Our thanks again to Chris for organizing this wargame! You can see Chris on our channel doing painting tutorials, but he has his own YouTube channel with many more painting videos. It's called Feldgrau Productions. Perhaps you'll enjoy this recent video where he shows off his 10mm Saracen army in greater detail!

Did you watch our club refight the Battle of Actium with 1/1200 scale ancient naval galleys and wish you could try this out at home? We have you covered! We're sharing our complete scenario, along with custom unit labels, for free over on Patreon. You do NOT need to be a paying patron to access this post. It's available for everyone right here.

If you've been watching and enjoying our 1813 campaign event on YouTube, then you know we are using the classic 1990s Volley & Bayonet for our big battles. There is a second edition reprint with some minor updates, but we are still using the original game in the club. The original game does have one unfortunate issue...there's not a good quick reference sheet with all the relevant information well organized.

So we made our own! Our QRS includes all key rules on a single-sided piece of paper. We did make a tweaks to ranges in our QRS, so be aware of that! Command range is much tighter. That's the biggest change of note. Otherwise we didn't adjust much else for our homemade QRS to this classic, fantastic game.
